Men who In 11 probability do not w.iger a rent on the possibilities of chance from one yeai ' eni to another, who srlnd day in and day out at their humdrum businesses. lofUed and fought for a chance to put a bet on :ne thoroughbred that had struck their untutored fancy. The poolroom habt, with his dope sheet, winners for a month back carefully tabulated, crowded Into the stand, contemptuously rejecting the h,rses without form, learnedly talking of distance, track, weights, boy. owner. tlm. and all the other elements that make up the estimation of probable victory.
H inker and bum. clerk and coachman, merchant, and tnouchcr, met on an. equal plane, a common footing. One mun'O. money was as good as another's. AND THE WOMEN. And the women. Well, women do not bet gloves, and bonbon-, and bouquets, and theater tickets and ?uch things in this day and age. Many a pretty hand nervously opened a porternonnaie to find a bank bill to back up her Judgment. Th re were betting commissioners going about the stand taking orders as there are at the established cracks, who were well patronised, but the feminine gamesters seemed to rely on their masculine escorts to place their money for them. One man out of every Ave, at a guess, made two bets when he bet at all, one for himself and one for some woman in the Und. With the fair element of the crowd the mitter of picking winners was not BOTfcVa difficult proposition as It might Been,. Two prof - w r in favor. "Jimmy," said a fair creature In blue, "I am going to close iny eyes, take this pin and Jab it into the score card. Wherever the pin falls. Jimmv. there will the winner be. "With an expression of disgusted annulment, Jimmy watched the Jabbing method of picking winners. The point of the pin pricked the name of Golden Rattle, entered In the first race. "Jimmy, bet this for me." said the girl. "I feel as if It Just couldn't lose." Jimmy demurred. He thought there wrs nothing to it but Gus Lanka. He said so, confiding the information that Gus Lanka was as good as in. and that it was all over but the cashing of the ticket. The girl stuck to her guns, or, rather, her pins, and Jimmy very naturally did as requested. Golden Rattle, at the comfortable odds ot 3 to 1. took the opening event, and when Jimmy returned his face was a study. Another method in vogue with the girls was picking winmrs because of pretty nam i, In the second race Herodes, becaus of the harmony of the name, was popvlar with the feminine portion of the crovd. Man after man slipped from a comfortable seat by the side of a pretty girl to bet a dollar or two for herself on Herodes. Agi.tr. the intuition "hunch" call it what you will was successful. Herodes simply toyed with his field, galloping in the easiest kind of winner. Not all the women played horses by this sort of reasoning. A few there were who had some knowledge of the entries, remembered where they had run before, what' th"' could do at certain distances, under certain weight, on certain kinds of a track. These had seen many races before and had learned the value of "dope." But whether thi-v bet on form or let the end of a hatpin decide the momentous question, it was all the same. The women risked their money, and risked it largely. It is no exaggeration to say that several hundreds of dollars were carried to the betting sheds from dainty purses. NOT GOOD LOSERS. An unfortunate fact, but still a fact. Is that women are not good losers. They bet yesterday afternoon with abandon, but the bets S'M-med to be made as if there was no possibility of a slip between the cup and the Up. The nvn lost, but they simply lighted another cigar, smothered a gentle oath or two, laughed, or did nothing whatever, according to their Individual temperaments. Not so th" women, in the aggregate. With the electrifying cry, "They are off!" a girl's eyes wuld strain after the flying horses is. t,M: m; mi hT chair, she would turn red and pal-' under the exclte- . nt of the mnmniit. As th' field neared i wire, with the horse that carried a ! i in money lab ring somewhere In ar. the storm wuid break, and woe to i. kOckless wight who. in a moment of rashness, had gtv H that was taken. One women In particular, although there wer4 plenty f others that could be held Up as examples, was the life of a party of six In one of the lower boxes during the first throe races. Sh- had won two bts, at it 1 had come out even on another. In the fourth, t'ae Derby, she plunged. All the wir.rdng:i were put on Omdurman. the favorite. Something hapjwMi.J to Omdurman. He came in lat-r than . ral others, and the Woman's spirits were ruined for the day. Oioom succeeded haj pint-ss, silence charming garrulity; a sphinx would have been a companionable person compared to sr. She was a hard los r and she showed It. But, like othr rules, this had its exceptions at least on harming one. Away Up, on one of the highest seats In the grand Maud, sat a girl wo:tn going miles to see. Her neat blue linen dress, fitting as if it had been molded to hr perfect figure, her Mains eyes, red cheeks and beautiful face dre v the glances of scores of openly admiring eyes. She nii !e r.o bets until the Derby. Then, scanning the card, her eyes fell on the name of Prinee Richard. To the man at her side she gave a $0 gold piece With Instructions to bet it 22 straight. $1 plac and ?2 show on the horse. The wiling Mercury went, bet and returned with the Lackst: "Prince Richard. W to $L $4 to II. to 12. She stood to win on her 15 Investment, ami her confidence in the success of her favorite sji i good to see. When Prince Richard paraded before the stand she clapped her hands and shouted for pure happiness. Th" linM up before the barrier. The starter took little time in aligning them. Prince Richard, well behaved, was on the extreme outside. The word was given, the barrier went down, and they were off with thundering feet all but Prin. . Ri hard. The hope of the lady In blue stood as if chained to the track, his Jockey staring at the starter stupidly, while the flying field put etween It and the hopelessly left horse with the speed of the winds. It was "left at the post," and she did Dot get even a ruufor her money. El ijl m

Thop- who had seen the bet made, and who had watched ber Joy in th- horse, expected a fallen face. mayb a tear or so at least. pome pecullarlv feminine demonstration. None came. The girl looked at the man. who was watching her curiously. She laughed as she 1. Miked, and laughed and laughed again. "Well, what's the difference?" she cried, merrily. "It's part of the game. Anyway. I believe he would have won if the start had been good.'' It was superb, that action, and was recognized as the p;imr?t thin of the day by everybody who saw It. THE EETTIXG FEVER. The betting fever stirred every pulse. Old or young, staid or giddy, it made no difference. The bulk of the money was wagered on the Derby, the feature race, but the bookmakers did a thriving business. Three favorites came home in front, and the outsiders that won all had considerable backing. It is Improbable that the layers of odds reaped a very rich harvest. Golden Rattle, which took the first, was well backed, although the bulk of the 'money went in on Gus Lanka and Crime. The bookmakers were jolted in the second, when Herodes romped home, but in th third they had practically clean sheets on account of the decidedly off-colored victory of Phosphorus. Everything in the race was supported but Phosphorus, and the fact that the field slowed down at the wire and allowed the long-legged sorrel to come on and win by a neck caused murmurs all over the grounds. In the fourth, the Derby,
the wise ones went to Welsh Girl. Th re was a tip out on Jim Hand's entry, and for once the good thing went through. At the odds of 3 to 1 several barrels of money were bet on Welsh Girl, and it Is probable that the hooking fraternity lost heavily. Omdurman, the favorite, was practically neglected. Opening at 3 to 2. his price went to 2 to 1, with a number of small bets, but few of any consequence. Theory, heavily backed by the public, won the fifth, and the long line that had faced the cashiers told an eloquent story of profit and loss, 'topin, in the sixth, was the friend of the bookies. The money went in on Compas and Mlloa, but both were beaten out by Chopin in a drive. It was an odd thing, but a fact whkh excited comment from those who see raring frequently at Chicago and elsewhere, hat the crowd yesterday afternoon hardly knew for a time Just how to act. Enthusiasm came, but it came slowly. During the first race or two people in the grand stand applauded a little, clapped their hands a little, but they had not got to the point where they wanted to get up on the chairs and howl. That came later. In the third, when the thoroughbreds danced out to the bugle notes and the bell in the judges' stand, the first real burst of enthusiasm came. STOOD UP AND CHEERED. Men and women stood up while they watched the graceful creatures canter to the starting point. When the magical cry, "They're off!" echoed from stand to paddock a shout went up that never really died away until the last race had been run and won. It was the newness, the novelty, the uncertainty as to just what should be done under the circumstances. The artificiality was quickly melted. tHumen nature, not a small element of which is the love of a man for a contest of speed and gameness, got in its work. The proper thing to do came naturally. Mouths opened involuntarily to cheer, hands came together naturally in applause. People went to the races in every sort of vehicle. Automobiles puffed and snorted on every road to the fair ground. Tallyhos, with horn and ribbons, rolled along tarrying merry parties of society folk. Stnnhopes, runabouts, broughams, phaetons, buggies, everything on four wheels or two was crowded into the inclosure reserved for them. Th.? great majority of the crowd came, however, on the street cars. The service wns good and fast time I. . Every car was loaded almost before it left the corner of Washington and Illinois streets. Those that climbed on later, hung by fingers and toes. Returning from the races the crush was terrific at the und, but there were no accidents. The crowd was well handled. The arrangements in the grounds were also good. Those that had the price or the inclination were taken care of in the grand stand, which, while crowded apparently to the limit of its capacity, was not uncomfortably filled. Along the fences In front of the stand from the carriage Inclosure to the tempo rary paddock human brtliajl stood densely packed together. On the other side of the track there were more c.-irriages, more peopl standing. Despite the fact that 20.000 le had to be taken ;ire of there were i w complaints made and every one seemed to manage to find a place to see well. It would be a mistake to say that the attention of the women was concentrated entirely on picking winners. The eternal feminine question can be none other than one gowns. Seated in the stand, conscious that her dress wus becoming, that her hat was stylish, and that there was Just enough silk hose showing and not too much the lady scanned every newcomer with undisguised interest. Pungent were the comments made. Burning were the ears of the liK kbss girl who failed to meet the approval of those merciless critics the other woman. It was a well-dressed. wellgroomed crowd, the men included; a crowd entirely In keeping with an event of the kind. Linen or duck was most in favor. Cool and stylish the girl who appeared in the one or the other looked her best and uffered not. White shirtwaists and black short skirts, the happy invention of some friends of womankind, relieved the bursts of color that shone here and there where some woman almost too brilliantly attired preened her feathers. It was all good for the eye and satisfactory to taste, in the main. GENERAL SATISFACTION. All things being equal, it was as satisfactory in its way to Indianapolis people as Washington Park was June 20 to folk of the Windy City. It required but little stretch of the imagination to dignify the derbyette into the American Derby. It was just as delightful to shout the throat hoarse cheer mm mm BPf a Mbmrn ssssi Monday and Tuesday Only
ing Welsh Girl past the wire as It was to Chicago people to hail The Picket winner iu the great Western classic. There were certainly comparatively as many beautiful women and handaotnc men, as much euthuslasm. as many chances to back favorite hordes and othrwiist enjoy one's lf. The opening day of the neetlng was such a success, in fsct. that ihe query on everybody's tonRuo 1. "Will Indlanarx.lls havo a creditable race meeting every year?1- The cause of the query may also be taken as the an-Fwt-r. It has bien demonstrated that the sport 's popular In this city, that people will patronize running races, and that there need bev nothing lacking that other c ities have constantly in season. The probabilities are that for many years to come excited thousands will rise as they did yesterday afternoon to shout themselves hoarse in acclaiming the thoroughbred that plunges under the wire winner of the Indianapolis Derby.
SOCIETY OIT I TV FORCE. -4 Boxes and Grand Stand Filled vritn Prettily Gowned Women. The fact that the Indianapolis Derby is to bo regarded henceforth as a society event was established yesterday. Despite the Intense heat, and despite the usual aversion to the Fourth of July celebration, the grand stand and boxes were filled with society women, ready to cheer or wail over their favorites, to make mild little bets, and in the intervals between the races to visit and chat with one another, and to do all the other usual things that one does at the races. The grand stand was a pretty sight with its contingent of women and girls in light summer gowns or cool shirtwaists, with fluttering fans and flower-laden hats. There were not many elaborate gowns worn the heat prevented that. Tin dress-up frock usually spells warmth, and yesterday every woman in the grand stand wanted her coolest frock and her brceriest fan. But though there were few noticeably stunning gowns, there were pretty gowns beyond number, the airy summer organdies and lawns, and the trim shirtwaist suits, more than making up for any more elaborate gowning. The Derby red, too, was rather conspicuous by its absence. Here and there was a scarlet sash or tie, a vivid red hat or a bright red sunshade, but for the most part hats, sashes and parasols were of white or sosna of the lighter, cooler colors. But notwithstanding all such minor deficiencies, the Derby was a success both as a Mx-i.'ty event and a spectacle. One of the prettiest gowns was worn by Mrs. John Newman Carey. It was of blue silk organdie with panels of antique lace, and with it was worn a hat of blue chiffon with black plumes. Mrs. Charles A. Bookwalter wore a summer gown of white with a white hat. Mrs. Samuel Van Camp wore a daintily fashioned white dotted swiss with blue ribbons, and .Mrs. John Taylor Martlmiale wore a smart frock of flowered pique. Mrs. Henry Coburn wore a tucked gown of white with a pink hat and Mrs. Augustus Coburn was in white silk, tucked, with a black and white hat. Miss Julia Kern wore a pretty guwn of ecru linen with a scarlet hat. Among those present In the boxes and grand stand were Mayor and Mrs. Bookwait. r. who had with them Mr. and Mrs. Morton BookWalter, of Philadelphia, and Mr. and Mr. S. H.

Great Interest Centered In the Derby Event One Race Criticised. The second Indianapolis Derby purse, now the classic event of the turf In Indiana. was won by Welsh Girl, a 6-to-l shot. Omdurman, the odds-on favorite, was unplaced. John Coulter, played by a large following for place, finished second under the whip, with Oriana. a 4-to-l shot, third. It was 4:10 when the horses left the Inclosure for the parade in front of the stand. The crowd had witnessed three most exciting races and the Derby was expected to outclass the other events in point of interest and fast racing. The spectators cheered as the nine thoroughbreds in single file pranced by the stand. Those to go to the post were John Coulter, Onyx II, Star ( "otton. Trespasser, Oriana. Water Edge, Welsh Girl, Omdurman and Prince Richard. The spectators stood on their chairs and watched the Derby candidates line up in front of the barrier. A great race was about to be run and the crowd was on edge. Those who watched the runners dancing in front of the barrier showed signs of nervousness, which increased when the barrier snapped and the bunch of runners got away. ORIANA IN THE LEAD. Oriana, the son of Jackson-Miss Hooker, with Burlingame in the saddle, got away in the lead, with the others well bunched. The race to the quarter pole was exciting, with Oriana in the lead by a length and Trespasser, the Padisha-Traviata gelding, ridden by Carnes, a length behind. Omdurman, the favorite, was well back In the bunch, but was making a game fight to get into a better position. Turning into the back stretch Carnes applied the whip and Trespasser jumped to the front. Onyx II being second and Oriana third. After passing the half-mile post Jockey McJoynt, who had the mount on Welsh Girl, showed his wonderful skill by drawing the chestnut mare by The Baid-Athalaric from well in behind the leaders to a commanding position which he could hold for the race down the stretch. At the three-quarter pole the field was well bunched with Trespasser, John Coulter, Welsh Girl and Oriana leading the rest of the field. As soon as the turn was made McJoynt displayed his cleverness by giving the whip and spur to Welsh Girl and making the noble mare gradually pass Oriana, Trespasser and John Coulter. Welsh Girl was good for the distance, and after her wonderful burst of speed In a seaming the lead iijto the stretch she showed Jttle signs of weakness and won easdy. John Coulter also made a good run and finished second, a length ahead of Oriena. Trespasser, although making a game race, was unplaced, and Omdurman, the favorite, which got away In last place, and improved his position but once, finished well back in the bunch. RODE A GREAT RACE. Such was the running and winning of the classic event by a good mare, ridden by one of the best jockeys at the track. McJoynt was sent to Indianapolis by J. R. Hand to ride one of Hand's Derby entries. It was thought at first he would have the mount on Golden Rattle, but when Golden Rattlo was not entered McJoynt was given the mount on Welsh Girl and he rode a wonderful race. McJoynt recently came to this country from Paris, where he rode for W. K. Vanderbilt, jr., and his ability to win on a good horse was demonstrated in the Derby. When the winner-and the jockey appeared before the judges' stand after the finish of the race the immense crowd cheered both horse and rider and cheered again when the laurel wreath was placed around the neck of Welsh Girl. The entire programme of six races was interesting and driving finishes were witnessed in nearly all the events. The first at six furlongs for three-year-olds and upwards was won by Golden Rattle, the favorite, in a driving finish, with Crime second and D. of R., an outsider, third. It was in this race that Jockey McJoynt showed his cleverness, as he had the mount on Golden Rattle. When the starters were sent to the post a strong wind blew from the west and carried dust from the halfmile track directly to the starters. The bunch got away from the post In a cloud of d it. and it was hard to distinguish from the stand how they got away. Crime held tho lead until the stretch was reached, when McJoynt gave the whip to Golden Rattle and sent her to the front. The race down the stretch was exciting, and when within one hundred yards of the wire Golden Rattle went into the lead and held it to the wire, finishing first by about tjro lengths. The second event was at seven furlongs for four-year-olds and upwards and drew a field of seven starters. Herodes, the favorite, well ridden by A. Weber, was an easy winner, with Myth, the second choice in the betting, second, and Jack McGinn third. THE RACE CRITICISED. Phosphorus, a five-year-old, carrying 111 pounds and ridden by Wier, won the third event at seven and one-half furlongs. There was a good deal of criticism of this race because of the way the other horses were ridden. By winning the event the gelding will carry five additional pounds if he starts to-morrow. Phosphorus beat Dr. Wiley to the wire in an exciting finish with Nyx, the favorite finishing third. Chicago Girl, which was played heavily, got away badly and failed to get a place. Theory, the Esher-Mornlng mare, carrving 106 pounds and ridden by Esell. won the fifth race, a selling event at six furlongs. She wals played heavily at 2 to L She got away well and. by holding back until the stretch, was able to take the lead mm A Two Pairs for Monday and Tuesday Only

and make a good race for the finish. Rose Court, a MMo-1 outsider, finished second, with Fnbula third. Kilimandscharo, a 20-to-l choice, finished tho course without a rider. After the bunch got away. Wickline, who had the mount on Kilimandscharo, was thrown, but was not seriously hurt. After the race Theory was run up to 800 and purchased by John S. Bratton, of St. Louis. The last event on the card was at one mlft? for three-year-olds and upward. Starter Blair experienced trouble in getting th m nwny fr.im the barrier, as Jim Mullen acted badly. The barrier snapped several times and the men standing along the fone were struck In the face by the rubber, but no one was injured. After much trouble the bunch was started, with Frances left at the post. Compass, the favorite, maintained a good position on the back stretch, but turning into the home stretch she was caught in a pocket and was forced to ride around Chopin and Milos, then In the lead. While losing ground by swerving to the outside of the track, Chopin and Milos improved their lead. A hard drive was made for the wire, and Chopin. Milos and Compass finished necks apart in the order named. Compass would have won with fifty feet more to go.

WILL RETURN TO WORK END OF STRIKE AFFECTING THE NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY. Employes Granted the lame Concessions Made by the Central t'nlon Telephone Company. The union linemen employed by the New Telephone Company, who have been on strike for several weeks on account of a disagreement with their employers, have decided to go to work to-morrow. The men will resume work under the same conditions prevailing when the Central Union Company's men returned to work a week ago. The matter was arranged by a sort of compromise, although the linemen practically gained their point. Their wages under which they struck were $2.50 a day to the linemen and $2.75 to the foremen. The men demanded a 10 per cent, increase on this scale, which the employers refused to grant. However, a proposition was made to the linemen to the effect that they should be arranged according to grades and paid accordingly by the month. The foremen were to get $65 a month and be known as firstclass men, while linemen were to receive $60 for their month's pay and be known as second-class men. The land men, who assist the linemen and are not skilled or experienced, were offered $45 a month. These terms were accepted by the twenty union men who have been idle, and they will join the company's force again to-morrow morning. An officer of the company said fest night that the men who have been employed during the strike will be retaired and the strikers will be taken back. He further said the striko was settled on the company's terms. SHOT INTO A CROWD. Bond Madaris Injured Several Women vwfth His Fireworks. Bond Medaris, 2542 North Capitol avenue, was arrested yesterday by Detectives Asch and Manning and locked up at the police station for assault and battery and drunkenness. Madaris was celebrating the "glorious" Fourth by shooting a number of Roman candles into a crowd of people on west Washington street.

The famous company of Marlon Zouaves will spend a day In this city on Monday, July 27. This is probably the best drilled military company in the world. They go through the entire manual of tactics requiring 287 movements and so perfect is their work that the men seem but parts of a human machine. They do not watch each other, nor do they receive any commands, but the complete routine of maneuvers is executed in perfect time as if by one man. Although organized less than two years ago .at Marlon. Ind.. the Marion Zouaves scale walls, form pyramids and tiers and do many other difficult acrobatic feats incident to their celebrated military drill. One of the most Interesting parts of the drill is the scaling of a high wall and the helping over of wounded men. The men are equipped with a complete outfit as required by the national guard with the exception of rifles, which are of the famous French C hasse pot pattern anu weigh about eleven pounds including the bayonet. The Marlon Zouaves are one of the several new snd strong attractions to be seen with the Oreat Wallace Show, which will exhibit In Indiana poiis 011 the day menVI U UC Vi.
